Post-election Yarn Along

So as I mentioned in a post over the weekend, I am officially done with the sweater for my husband! You can see its metamorphosis since I started this blog here!

With some of the leftover yarn I made my first son an Aviatrix hat this evening since he keeps trying to steal the baby's and stretch it over his head. I seriously love this pattern for the design, speed at which I can knit it, and the versatility for boys or girls.

I also worked on that baby girl dress set and cast on a scarf for a gift exchange we're doing with our friends.

A front view plus the beginning of the scarf.

The back with the buttons.

I'm still working on House of Mirth by Edith Wharton.

May I just say that we have a very interesting future ahead of us here in the 57 United States? (See what I did there?) I am not looking forward to four more years of religious persecution, and attempts to slowly take away basic freedoms (1st & 2nd Amendments), but America has decided and while I am obviously not happy about the results, I am certainly trying not to be a bad sport about it since this is how democracy works, how it must work in order to live in a peaceful society. For my readers who are of like mind as me, please pray, speak up, make your voice heard so that together we can secure a better future for our children and ourselves in 2016.

What beautiful knits! The sweater for your husband is wonderful! I've wanted to knit one for my husband but I know he won't wear it...so I knit them for me instead! I'm with you on the disappointment of last night. Keep praying!
